Answer
Since line x - 2y - 11 = 0 intersects y-axis, the point where it will intersect there x-coordinate = 0.
So, putting x = 0 in equation,
⇒ 0 - 2y - 11 = 0
⇒ -2y = 11
⇒ y = -
Coordinates =
So, the line passes through (1, 4) and .
The equation of the line joining two points is given by,
Putting values we get,
Hence, equation of line is 19x - 2y - 11 = 0.
